Winters appear to be getting tougher and we need to be ready for anything.
So if you are a small business, or have larger domestic premises, why not try this
superb petrol powered, self-propelled, dual-stage Snow Flake Snow Blower from Stiga It has a front mounted auger with teeth which efficiently grind through compacted snow and ice, directing it to a spinning impellor which pushes it at high speed up and out of an exit chute. The 50cm high auger hood and clearing width of 74cm means a large intake of snow. The Briggs and Stratton engine offers more power and improved fuel economy. Variomatic transmission, with a two-trigger control helps steering, and the gearbox has six forward and two reverse gears for maximum control and manoeuvrability. For extra reliability, the 230v electric start is backed up by a recoil pull with a large handle that can be operated wearing gloves. Sturdy 16 wheels have Maxi Grip tyres for gripping difficult terrain icy surfaces. The blower can be controlled one-handed, so you can operate the remotely controlled rotating snow exit chute without stopping the machine. The chute rotates through 200°, for flexibility in disposing of the snow and a deflector, also remotely controlled, with a dashboard situated, lever-operated crank, changes the pitch of the stream. A headlight enables clearing in bad light. The auger hood is height adjustable so you can clear snow on gravel or shingle without picking up and throwing unwanted detritus.
